Very odd problem here - can you think of an explanation??

Its a strange thing - turn PC on - nothing, no vga signal or post etc. I've tried rebuilding it, checking connections etc etc. If i leave it in this state for few minutes (PSU on, fans turning, pump running for WC) then press reset it boots absolutely fine no problems at all from then on. Strange i thought!!! Itsa little annoying, can anyone come up with an explanation for this??

 

Cold start bug. Normally indicates a faulty motherboard or PSU. Try to flash the BIOS first, that can sometimes help

 

disconnect the hard disk's and cd's .

 

Thanks Doug - will try that. Whats your money on?

Doryakov - whats the thinking there? If i disconnect my drives how do you think it might help? I've tried it anyway - no cigar

 

Money would be on a faulty PSU. It may have an instable rail and switch it when it detects an issue.
